the constantly-bumped "great releases of 2013" thread
 

I know it is only the 3rd but I thought i'd start the '2013' thread

I really enjoyed listening to Broadcast's Berberian Sound Studio earlier.
It has a similar vibe to Investigates Witch Cults of the Radio Age so fans of that will definitely enjoy this one.

 

It is available to stream here

I fucking love Broadcast. I have for some time, but rarely meet anyone who shares my enthusiasm. I don't have the album yet, but it should be arriving shortly. Haven't listened to a second of it. I'm going to treat it like a late Xmas present.

Roy Montgomery's Music from the Film Hey Badfinger.

Fictional soundtrack to a movie about the band. It's great this guy is releasing stuff again. I have always really his stuff whether it be solo or with The Pin Group/Dadamah.

Really excited about "Peter Brötzmann -Long Story Short", a 5 CD boxset documenting Music Unlimited Festival 2011, curated by Peter Brötzmann; including recordings of performances by Full Blast, Hairy Bones, Chicago Tentet, Keiji Haino, Caspar Brötzmann Massaker, Okkyung Lee with Xu Fengxia & Michiyo Yagi, and a lot more awesomeness...

I really wait this!

Palm Desert - Rotten Village Sessions (Stoner)
Traumahelikopter - Traumahelikopter (Garage Rock, sort of Cramps-like)

Yo La Tengo, Broadcast, and Low (yes, I listened to it) are early front runners.

I like the new Widowspeak a lot.

Hopefully the new Black Sabbath album 13 featuring 3/4 original members to be released in June is worthy of the original lineup's output.

New Robedoor is pretty rad.

This is pretty great. I've just got this and their first LP and early 7 inches within the last few weeks. This new one has some Morricone-like parts, which sort of related to the Broadcast record mentioned above (which I havn't heard yet) though I suspect the soundtracks they are referencing are quite different. Also, gotta love Thrill Jockey's policy of posting full track length streams for every release.

Fender just released a new version of the Fender Bass VI guitar, which was unavailable for a long time and very high priced on the collectors market, and which is played all over these records, for a non-outlandish price (still too much for yours truly at the moment). Coincidence? So want one of those...

the new faltydl is pretty good. thought it was a letdown at first but eventually it feels like a solid album.
ben ufo's fabriclive mix is amazing as well but that's not surprising considering the permanent quality of his sets

There is coming another "new" Hendrix album:

How do they keep releasing such great albums?
